Bug on droid

[DRL23411]

All of a sudden, the SD card cannot be found by my phone. Do they go bad?

When this happened to me I took out the sd card and battery, waited a minute, put back in sd card, then battery, then turned back on. It was ok after that. I'm HTC desire

[pinkster73]

And no I don't believe they go bad

I tried this but it did not work.

Try going to one of your phone service provider's stores that has a tech center. You might have to wait awhile, but they should be able to help.

Sorry my suggestion is about as "techy" as I get.

My Micro SD Card disassociates from my phone all the time. I generally have to just restart my device and it'll read again.

Don't think SD Cards "go bad", though I suppose if there were a data corruption or if the card was reformatted to a different, non-compatible device, it wouldn't be read in your phone and your data will be lost (speaking as a bit of a novice here, so take with a grain of salt).

It'd try removing the MicroSD Card, inserting it into a MicroSD-to-SD adapter, plugging that into your computer (assuming it has an SD slot), and seeing how it reads. Or, if you lost non-critical data, just buy another one. You can buy a MicroSDHC card on the cheap online.

You can buy micro SD cards almost anywhere. Even Walmart has them. Way cheaper then the phone carrier store.
